Highlight A Big Data Week Project
For the third year, Visualizing is thrilled to again support Big Data Week. We want to highlight the awesome work created by the community and are calling for you to upload your data visualizations for our Big Data Week Gallery. Projects should be related to this year’s festival themes of The Internet of Things, Smart Cities, and The Quantified Self or focus on The Connected Society.

This is called the central limit theorem.

Optimization Modeling: Because That Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice Ain’t Gonna Squeeze ItselfWhen you were a child, perhaps there came that day when someone explained to you that Santa Claus didn’t exist, outside of men with bad rosacea dressed up at the mall.
Well, toda . . .y I’m going to shatter another belief: your not-from-concentrate premium orange juice was not hand squeezed. In fact, the pulp in it is probably from different oranges than the juice, and the juice has been pulled from different vats and blended according to mathematical models to ensure that each carafe you drink tastes the same as the last.
